Title: Improvements in Type Printing Electric Telegraphs.
Inventor: BELIN EDOUARD
IPC: H04L13/18
Filed: 1911-04-19
Granted: 1912-03-28
Abstract: 9556. Belin, E. April 19. Optical pointers. - The receiving apparatus for a type-printing telegraph system consists of an oscillograph G, which throws a ray of light from a source F on to the corresponding letter, as A B, of an alphabet which is cut out in a line on the screen E. The image of the illuminated letter is brought to a focus at a', b' by means of the lens L &c. and the system of mirrors m, m<1>, m<2>, m<3> or a pair of prisms. A photographic tape is moved past this point in a strip receiver, but for page printing another lens U is provided to bring the image to a<11>, b<11>, and a mirror S is interposed to throw the image on to the sensitive paper R. The mirror S is rotated by a cam in order to print the images of successive letters in a line on the paper R; and to obtain focusing for different positions of the mirror, the lens U is mounted in guides, and its position is controlled by a shaft from the same spindle that drives the cam for rotating the mirror.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Feeding Devices for the Music Sheets of Self Playing Musical Instruments.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1911-06-06
Granted: 1912-01-25
Abstract: 13,508. Boult, A. J., [Mills, H. S.]. June 6. Centrifugal governors; differential governors. -In an automatic musical instrument, the circuit of the electromotor driving the winding- mechanism is completed through two spurwheels in gear with one another. One of the spur-wheels is driven by the motor through a friction clutch operating similarly to a centrifugal governor. The other spur-wheel is driven by a roller in contact with the moving tunesheet. The shaft of the worm 29 is driven by the motor and carries a friction-wheel 48, which normally engages cones 52 carried by curved resilient arms 50<1> mounted on a shaft 49<1>. The shaft 49<1> drives through a worm and wormwheel a shaft carrying a spur-wheel 55 and a toothed disk 56 of insulating - material. The teeth of the disk 56 overlap the teeth of the spur-wheel 55 at one side, as shown in Fig. 5. The spur-wheel 55 and disk 56 gear with a spur-wheel 57, which is driven by a roller 16 in frictional contact with the tune-sheet 12. The electric circuit of the motor is completed through the spur-wheels 55, 57. If the speed of the motor becomes excessive, the cones 52 move out of contact with the disk 48 by centrifugal force, causing the spur-wheel 55 and toothed disk 56 momentarily to lag behind the spurwheel 57. The teeth of the spur-wheels 55, 57 therefore move out of contact and the motorcircuit is broken. The speed at which this effect is produced may be varied by adjusting the shaft 49<1> longitudinally by means of a screwdevice.

Granted: 1911-10-19
Abstract: 17,257. Wagner, F. July 28. Valves controlled from a distance.-In apparatus for operating gas valves by variations of the gas pressure, two diaphragms b are arranged to move in opposite directions when acted upon by the gas pressure, and are connected by links e to opposite ends of a doublearmed lever d mounted on a shaft c. When the shaft c is rotated through an increase and a subsequent decrease in pressure, a sleeve loosely mounted thereon is rotated through an arm h, pawl i, and ratchet f. The sleeve carries a star-wheel g, the arms of which lift the ball valve k off its seating to allow gas to pass to the burner. A spiral spring l returns the shaft c when the gas pressure is lowered. By loosening the nut o, the tension of the spring may be adjusted, a pointer n and pressure scale being provided.

Abstract: 17,739. Griffiths, C. C. Aug. 4. Brush sheaths. - A case for protecting the bristles of brushes while the hacks are being cleaned has side walls, preferably adjustable to receive brushes of different sizes, on which the back of the brush rests. As shown in Fig, 1, the side walls b, hinged at c, are attached to base-parts a and handle-parts e, and a slotted flexible strip f guided by a pin g is attached to one wall so that the bristles at one end may not he exposed. In a modification, the base is not divided, and the side walls are hinged thereon. In another modification, the side walls are adjustable in length, being each in two overlapping parts, one pair of which may slide towards the handle end on pins working in slots in the base parts.

Abstract: 10,106. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. June 8, 1911, [Convention date]. Field carriages.-Relates to training-gear for wide-angle training, for use in conjunction with ordinary training-gear, and consists in supporting the wheels of the gun carriage on members, adapted to move over a circular railed track. In the form shown, the gun wheels C rest on trucks D, which carry on their undersides rollers D<1> adapted to move over a railed track E, F. This track comprises a series of box-like members E, each carrying a piece of rail F, and open underneath, so that their side walls can penetrate into the earth. Adjacent members are bolted together loosely by bolts e<1>, and eyes e<3> serve to hold chains G connected up to the trail B. The rail F takes the form of a circular arc with the spade-pin b<1> as centre, and is provided with a series of recesses f<1> in which the rollers D<1> are adapted to rest. The distance between adjacent recesses preferably corresponds to the angle through which the gun can be traversed relatively to the carriage by means of the ordinary training-gear. In following a target moving across the line of fire, the gun is trained by the ordinary gear as far as possible. The gun is then swung round on the track in the direction of motion of the target until the rollers D<1> have reached the next set of recesses f<1>, the upper carriage being meanwhile swung back by means of the ordinary training-gear through the whole field of train. The target can then again be followed by actuating the ordinary training - gear. The whole set of operations may be repeated until the limit of the track is reached. In a modification, the trucks D are replaced by rail-like supports for the wheels, carrying sliding shoes on their undersides to engage with the track E, F.

Granted: 1914-02-12
Abstract: 5704. Edgar, D. R. March 7. Mixing-valves.-A hot-water supply system of the boiler-and-cylinder type is provided with draw-off valves arranged to open the cold-water supply to the cylinder at the same time and to the same extent as the hot-water valve is opened to withdraw hot water from the system. The cold-water supply to both cold-water tap and hot-water cylinder is normally taken from the supply main, but the draw-off valve is provided with a check valve so arranged that in the event of the main supply failing the supply of cold water both to the cold-water tap and also to the hot-water cylinder is taken from the same storage tank. This arrangement enables both hot and cold water to be delivered under the same head under all circumstances. The drawoff tap or mixing-valve comprises a multipleway lift valve actuated by a pair of differential screws formed on concentric spindles. The coldwater supply valve 3 is opened by the inlet pressure when the spindle 4 actuated by the handle 5 is withdrawn. The spindle screws through a removable partition 22<1>, and also screws into a screwed socket on a member 30 in which the valve spindle 19 is adapted to slide. The mixing - valve is actuated by a screwed sleeve 14 provided with a handle 13 and screwing through a nut formed on the casing and a nut formed on a cross-head 6<1>. The cross-head carries two lift valves 15, 17 and a tubular piston valve 6. The valve 15 controls the supply of hot water to the mixing- chamber while the valves 17, 6 control the supply of cold water to the hot-water cylinder and the mixing-chamber respectively. The handles 5, 13 are so arranged that the handle 5 can be turned through 90 degrees to actuate the cold-water valve only; it then contacts with a shoulder on the handle 13 and both hot and cold water valves are actuated simultaneously until a shoulder 20 on the member 30 engages the partition 21, the handle 13 can then be further rotated to close the cold-water valve 6 while maintaining the hot-water valve 15 open. A leakage chamber with discharge pipe 8<1> is fitted around the actuating-spindle.
